The 2 Greatest

How do you feel when OTHERS are being blessed and you're not?  Not only are you not blessed but your burdened, hurting, and it seems God isn't going to do anything about it.

What is "cursing?"  What is "swearing?"  It's probably not what you think it is according to the Bible.

Jesus is not removed, distant, unfeeling or uncaring.  It's not inexperienced in the ways of the world.  He GETS US.  Thanks be to God!

IDENTITY!  That's a BIG word today.  The question is who gets to decide that for you?  Don't say "I do" because you don't make that determination without lots of outside influence.  Are you wondering about your worth?

What we do to prepare for the big moment is even more important than what we do IN the big moment.  One guys has a lot to teach us in that area.

We are all influenced by the voices of others attempting to speak into our lives.  We better allow access carefully because it really matters who has your ear.  

In a world of shame and blame, mocking and dehumanization--God's people are always to be about preserving dignity.  

Some folks are roosters and others night owls.  But no matter, in the Lord we are all morning people!

We don't like pain, not one little bit!  We avoid it at all costs and when we can't we ask God to take it away.  But sometimes he doesn't.  When he doesn't it's for our good.  Maybe it's time to make friends with thorns.

There are many blessings we think we deserve, but the truth is they are none earned and all gifts.  So let's learn to be thankers!
